Connor McDavid wins Hart as MVP, and other results from the 2017 NHL Awards

Most of hockey's biggest stars were in attendance for the NHL Awards in Las Vegas on Wednesday night. It was an exciting night for the sport, as the roster for the Vegas Golden Knights expansion team was announced while the league also handed out its annual awards.

There weren't very many shockers as far as the awards went but several players got to add some hardware to their trophy cases following an impressive season.

Here are the results:

Ted Lindsay Award: Connor McDavid

The Oilers' McDavid took home the Ted Lindsay Award as the league's most outstanding player as voted by his peers. The honor comes after the young phenom finished as the NHL's only 100-point scorer. Not bad for a 20-year-old.

Selke Trophy: Patrice Bergeron

The Bruins' center won the Selke Trophy as the league's best defensive forward for the fourth time in his career. The only other player to win the award four times is former Montreal Canadiens winger and Hall of Famer Bob Gainey. The 31-year-old Bergeron is recognized as being one of the best two-way centers in the game today.

Norris Trophy: Brent Burns

San Jose's Burns earned his first Norris Trophy as the league's best defenseman. The 32-year-old led all blue liners in scoring with 29 goals and 76 points, both franchise records for the Sharks. Burns beat out Erik Karlsson and Victor Hedman for the award. Not too shabby for a guy who was drafted as a forward.

King Clancy Memorial Trophy: Nick Foligno

The Blue Jackets captain was awarded the King Clancy trophy as the player exhibiting the best leadership qualities over the past season. Foligno also took home the Mark Messier Award for leadership, making him the first player to win both awards in the same season. The honors come following Foligno's excellent year in Columbus. He finished with 51 points and led the Blue Jackets to their first 50-win season. He and his wife also donated a total of $1 million to children's hospitals in Columbus and Boston back in October.

Calder Memorial Trophy: Auston Matthews

The top overall pick in last year's draft took home the Calder as the league's most outstanding rookie following a fantastic first season in Toronto. The 19-year-old set the Maple Leafs' franchise record for most goals as a rookie with 40, which also is an NHL record for American-born rookies. He seems to be worth all the hype he received coming into the league.

General Manager of the Year: David Poile

The only general manager Nashville has ever known received the honor after his Preds finished as the top team in the West. He's built a strong, promising team in Nashville through excellent drafting as well as smart (and often bold) trades. A well-deserved honor for the man who acquired Ryan Johansen and P.K. Subban in a six-month span.

Jack Adams Award: John Tortorella

Torts took home the Jack Adams as the league's top coach for the second time in his career. He led Columbus to its best season in franchise history with a 108-point regular season, which was a 32-point improvement over the previous year. He beat out Mike Babcock of the Maple Leafs and Todd McLellan of the Oilers to capture the award.

Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy: Craig Anderson

The veteran Ottawa Senators goalie received the Masterton Trophy for his perseverance and dedication to hockey following a season in which his wife, Nicholle, was diagnosed with cancer. Anderson took multiple leaves of absence to be with his family during the trying time, but returned and helped lead the Senators to the Eastern Conference Final. Nicholle announced in May that she was cancer-free.

Lady Byng Trophy: Johnny Gaudreau

The 23-year-old Gaudreau won the Lady Byng award for sportsmanship after earning just four penalty minutes in 72 games for Calgary. It was the first NHL award for the Flames winger.

Vezina Trophy: Sergei Bobrovsky

The award for best goaltender went to Columbus' Bobrovsky. The Jackets' netminder started 62 games and had a .931 save percentage and a 2.06 goals against average, both tops in the league. It's his second Vezina Trophy, making him the only active goalie with multiple Vezinas.

Hart Trophy: Connor McDavid

Of course it was McDavid. The Oilers' superstar finished with 30 goals and 70 assists in his first full NHL season, leading Edmonton back to the playoffs for the first time in a decade in the process. He beat out Bobrovsky and Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby for the honor. It's probably not the last time he'll get his hands on it, either.
